dc.description.transcriptionFriday Dear Amon_ We heard on radio last night where Amon Jr was missing, & we have thought of you every minute knowing what you are going through. You must trust that he is alive and God will protect him. There is nothing I can say to help you only that I am always with you in your distress & sorrow. I had only one boy & I know what yours meant to you - Here is a little verse I want you to read, it has always helped me so much. Dear restless heart be still for peace is Gods own smil His love can every wrong and sorry reconcile; Just love, and love, and calmly wait ahile. Dear restless heart be still: dont fret and worry so; God hath a thousand ways His love and help to show. Just trust, and trust, until His will you know. When you read this I hope you will find a little comfort & relief from your strain. Remember we love you & want to see you happy. You are so good & sweet to every one, & I know God will by good to you. I hope you hear good news soon, Yours Emma
